Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer‘s administration on Sunday ordered high schools and colleges to stop in-person classes, closed restaurants to indoor dining and suspended organized sports — including the football playoffs.
The restrictions will begin Wednesday and last three weeks.
“The situation has never been more dire. We are at the precipice and we need to take some action,” Whitmer said at an evening news conference.
An order written by the state health department prohibits high schools, colleges and universities from offering in-person instruction. K-8 schools can continue with on-site classes due to lower transmission rates, though — as before — it is not required.
Restaurants, now operating at 50% capacity, must halt dine-in service inside.
Indoor residential gatherings, which were capped at 10 people, can include no more than two households. Outdoor gatherings are limited to a maximum of 25 people.
Entertainment facilities such as theaters, bowling alleys and indoor water parks must close again. Gyms and pools can stay open but not offer group classes. Professional sports and some college sports are still allowed, with enhanced testing.
Whitmer urged the public to “double down” with precautions such as wearing a mask and keeping distance to avoid a second stay-at-home order.
Robert Gordon, director of the state Department of Health and Human Services, noted that the order “focuses on indoor gatherings and the settings where groups gather and where the virus can thrive.”
The governor’s announcement drew mixed reaction.
Michigan House Member Files to Impeach Governor Gretchen Whitmer
State Rep. Matt Maddock (R), who is well-known in Michigan as a pro-Trump solid conservative, announced tonight that he is filing the paperwork in the Michigan House to start impeachment proceedings against Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer!
Whitmer has been repeatedly defying court orders limiting her COVID shutdown powers.
And rumors swirl that another Whitmer Michigan shutdown is looming, perhaps starting on November 18 and lasting three weeks. A rumor that she would shut down the state on Friday came and went, though Whitmer held a very odd press conference where Whitmer and her advisors scolded family members not to hug on Thanksgiving.
Maddock told the Gateway Pundit: “Something had to be done. She’s ruining this great state. Small businesses and most dine-in restaurants will be dead by the end of the year. She’s caused the deaths of many vulnerable elderly people who died alone, scared, and pointlessly. This was long overdue,” Maddock said.
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on Monday afternoon announced a new authoritarian Covid lockdown order.
Newsom doesn’t even follow his own Covid orders. He was recently caught attending a birthday party for one of his political advisors with people from different households.
The Democrat tyrant punished the conservatives in Orange County by moving it into the most restrictive tier which will close indoor dining, gyms etc.
Orange County just flipped two congressional seats red so Newsom responded by crushing small businesses and terrorizing the residents.
40/58 California counties just moved backwards and fell “multiple tiers.”
California has 4 different Covid tiers based on daily new “cases.”
Purple is the most restrictive tier where nearly all indoor businesses are closed and yellow is the least restrictive.
At any moment, Newsom can move a county into a different tier and completely destroy its businesses.
Every single county in Southern California (including OC) is now in the most restrictive “purple” tier.
So what did Gov. Newsom just do?
– 40/58 CA counties just moved backwards, some fell multiple tiers.
– Every single county in SoCal is now in the most restrictive “purple” tier, including OC & Ventura.
– This closes indoor dining, gyms, etc effective immediately. @FOXLApic.twitter.com/eWcltowAUO
Gavin Newsom is also considering implementing an illegal statewide curfew.
And where is Newsom looking to for guidance? Saudi Arabia.
That’s right. Not the US Constitution. Saudi Arabia.
Newsom says he is looking at studies from other countries about curfews including France and Saudi Arabia.
